EVERETT — Learn about Everett Community College's Aviation Maintenance Technician School and careers in aviation maintenance at an information session at 2:30 p.m., July 12.

The information session is at the school, 9711 32nd Place W., Building C-80, Paine Field in Everett.

EvCC's Aviation Maintenance Technician School is one of only about 150 schools nationwide that train airframe and powerplant mechanics. In the eight-quarter, 2,040-hour program, you'll learn about 45 subjects and work hands-on with a variety of fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.

You can prepare for your Federal Aviation Administration Airframe and Powerplant license, get a certificate in Aviation Technology or earn an associate of technical arts (ATA) degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology.

Demand for licensed airframe and powerplant mechanics is expected to grow over the next decade, as older mechanics retire. The median hourly earnings of aircraft mechanics and service technicians are steadily increasing.

You can get started now by attending one of the monthly info sessions, which is required for admittance.
